Low back pain: Considerations of when to refer patients for interventional spine procedures

Abstract

Although this textbook will not specifically address the details of lumbosacral region spinal injection procedures, the important issue of when to refer a patient for a possible lumbosacral spinal injection will be discussed. This is an important topic to physicians involved with musculoskeletal medicine given the frequency with which patients report low back pain and the morbidity associated with it. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
